RĀHUI
He Aituā: Ki te hunga katoa ki Te Whenua Tāpui o Kiore Taretare i te 10 o May, 2023

Nō te aituā i pā ki tētahi taiohi o Whangārei i te Tūrei, te 9 o Mei 2023, kua rāhuitia Te Whenua Tāpui o Kiore Taretare e Ngāti Kahu o Torongare me Ngā Hapū o Whangārei. Hena koa, kia manawa popore mai ki tēnei aituā, ki tōna whānau, ki tēnei rāhui anō mā te kore tomo mai ki te whenua tāpui nei.

----
Mayor Vince Cocurullo expressed his sincerest condolences to the whānau, friends, fellow pupils, staff and all members of the community grieving for the loss of the young man at the caves yesterday.

"Thank you to all who took part in the search in any capacity and to those who prayed for everyone involved."

"This is not the outcome anyone wanted, but returning the young one to his family to farewell over the next few days would not have been achieved so quickly without the enormous efforts of many people."

"Thank you to all who have come forward to offer comfort and support as well. I support the words of the Hapū, who said this is a time for manaaki and care to all, particularly to the family, his peers and school community."

He reiterated that multiple organisations will be involved to identify how a tragedy like this could be prevented in future and Council would be part of that process.

Severe weather in Northland

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

A severe weather watch is in place today as thunderstorms are expected this morning and afternoon (Tuesday 9th May).

Some of these thunderstorms may become SEVERE, producing localised torrential rain in excess of 40 mm/h and a slight chance of a damaging tornado. If any tornadoes occur, they will only affect very localised areas.

Here's what you need to know:
- Watch out for surface and/or flash flooding, especially about low-lying areas such as streams, rivers or narrow valleys - these could lead to slips.
- Due to surface flooding and poor visibility in heavy rain, driving may be hazardous.
- Expect thunderstorm activity to ease by Tuesday evening.

For information on preparing for and keeping safe during a storm, see the Civil Defence Get Ready website

We asked, listened, and collaborated directly with farmers in the making of this gear. We tested and re-tested in on-farm environments. We re-engineered what farming workwear can be with your needs front of mind. We brought our decades of experience creating world-class performance gear. Add to that a legacy of Kiwi innovation, a challenger spirit and a practical attitude that’s been part of Line 7 since we started back in 1963.

Every detail has been reviewed and refined – without overlooking the obvious. Breathable, flexible, functional and comfortable, while still being supremely durable and waterproof. Made to fit farmers of all shapes and sizes, with a dedicated range for women. Built to last, and last a bit longer still, with an included repair kit that means you can fix it up quickly yourself.

Now take it out there, try it on and put it to the test. Wear it out and wear it again. We’re pretty damn confident you won’t be disappointed.
